I have been enjoying the mystic, almost hypnotic,
notes of the Eastern Meadowlark on my walks to and from the pond. Their songs surround me as I walk mostly
through pasture, an ideal environment for these birds. I hear a lot of meadowlarks, and I see less.
The meadowlark can quickly hide even in the shortest grass which we have at
this time of year. During the growing season, I have to catch this fabulous
bird either in flight or resting/singing from atop a fence post.
Fortunately, today, I tracked a bird flying
through my line of sight. Sure enough, it was a meadowlark. The beautiful bird landed and remained
visible as it pecked along the ground. The
bright and bold yellow of its chest and belly was easy to spot and follow once
the meadowlark faced me head on.
We always seem to be in song.
